1968: The Year that Changed Everything

A Town Meeting

---

Introduction: Why is this year important? According to Jonathon Darman, a journalist for Newsweek, "all of us, young and old, are stuck in the 1960s, hostages to a decade we define ourselves as for or against." (Darman) The issues which we confronted as a nation that year were issues that matter most:

• "How should America show its power to the world?
• "What rights were owed to African Americans, to women, to other minority groups?
• What is America and what does it want to be?" (Darman)
